The weather did not even tend to slow up the business and some very timely topics were touched upon. Preéesiâ€" dent Austin Neame occupied the chair. | _A number of new members were adâ€" Timely Topics Are Featured at Legion Large Number on Hand and Business Conducted in a Fine Manner.

The membership standing was shown as one of the best in Ontario. ‘ Committees reported and ment,ion! was made of the smoker on Saturday:} evening of this week. Then the branch settled down to place itself on record as supporting Capt. Jules Ferry, the provincial presiâ€" dent, in his untiring efforts to right the position of the exâ€"servicemen disâ€" missed by Premier Hepburn‘s governâ€" ment under the patronage system.: A unanimcus vote was recorded giving the support of the Timmins branch. l omm nc A high explosive is supposed to have been discovered at the DuPont Works at Wilmington, Delaware, according to press reports this week. Since the Duâ€" Pont company controls the largest exâ€" plosive industry in Canada, Canadian Industries Limited, the new product would naturally be of interest in Canaâ€" dian industries that make use of °exâ€" plosives. Several spoke on the question of levying the members for the Legion magazine. The good and bad points were discussed but finally it was pASSâ€" ed that the local branch be among the 100 per cent class for the publi¢ation. The matter of asking the pension commission to remove an exâ€"serviceâ€" man from St. Mary‘s hospital, Timâ€" mins to a government institution on compassionate grounds, was voiced in marked manner by Comrade Goode. It was learned that the case was very deserving. President Neame told of all he had done without being able to seâ€" cure action. But another method is now to be tried, and failing this the members will be asked to pass a resoâ€" lution on behalf of this sick comrade who has been in the local hospital since last April. According to descriptions given in reports the new substance is supposed to be 20 per cent. more effective in power than the famous TNT. It is sald that the new explosive, called" niâ€" troâ€"ammonia," may be shot at with rifies, subjected to the insertion of red hot irons, held in the flame of a blow torch and even placed in a fire, without going off. The only method of setting a blast is reported to be a full sized "dynamite" cartridge. ‘TNT, despite its fame, is not used in industry to any great extent. Powâ€" ders used in mining operations do not contain TNT, so that if the new exploâ€" sive resembles the older one in action, its application to mining would be very slight indeed. In fact, aside from deâ€" molition, such as is carried on in war time, TNT is not widely used. As for the foolproof part of it, the new material may be of great value but still it is not absolutely fcolproof if it explodes at all for it would be quite possible for secmeone to set it off in the annroved manner and cause a lot of President Neame mentioned that he hoped more use would be made of the sittingâ€"rcom upstairs, and socials are to be arranged to meet this end. There were some good songs sung in the short social which followed. Someâ€" new talent jwas discovered and no doubt future programmes will feature some of these. In passing it might be worth mentioning that for a group of men who are reaching out to the fifâ€" ties, the Legion here is blessed with some very remarkable singers and °enâ€" tertainers. In all it was a meeting of advanceâ€" ment for the Timmins branch and one that speaks volumes for future activiâ€" ties. s it expioqaes possible for approved 1 damage. ay New Explosive High but Foolproof arent Company of Canaâ€" dian Explosives Reported to have New Explosive. not known "Canadian ] Nothing Known About it Locallyv. ic acid is widely used in the exâ€" es field and there are already compounds of the acid and amâ€" on the market and in successful Just what is meant by the term â€"ammonia" used in the despatch, SATU RDAY, JANUARY 26TH it was a meeting of advanceâ€" the Timmins branch and one iks volumes for future activiâ€" Rasement of the United Church, Timmins Industries have mad »ment vyet concerning th ‘cvery in Dupont researe and Sale of Home Cooking ALSO DISPLAY OF ANTIQUES Auspices of the Fireside Club ind provâ€"| J 3 to 6 p.m. London Life Co. has Noteworthy Record laboratori¢ mercial in let it be k mond JUubiliee Insurance Co 60th Annual been released several indica gress in 1934 rapid growth which enjoyed during the ; London Life has vir size since 1926, whet force amounted to esteem in which the by the insuranceâ€"buy judged from the fac oneâ€"sixth of the life i in Canada last year | the London Life:; over companies operate in Life policyholders n proximately 561,984, a 19834.
